About Ay Sun

Born in Nicosia in 1981, Aysun started to follow her notes vibrating in her soul by listening to the nature carefully at the age of 3. She was listening to the sound of trees, the vibration of the earth, the silence of the ants and the “voice” of water. Her toy, a mandolin, gave her the spirits to get into music deeply and then started to play piano at very early age.
Taking lessons from Jale Dervish, her piano teacher, she started composing her own songs on the piano, rejecting to write down the notes and learning them. All she liked was to listen, and to make people listen. Ever since, she believed that music is a kind of “painting” “visualising” “dreaming” by notes “Music is the noted-literature of whatever you see...” she says. 

She has always been interested in the soundtracks of the movies, cartoons and the ads she was watching on TV and this gave her the motivation to focus on what she wants to work later on she discovered a programme called Reason. She is the first person who composed a long feature movie; shoot in the north part of Cyprus, called “Gun Batarken” (As the Sun Sets). Now, she is preparing for a big concert in Salamis Ruins, working with famous Conductor, Maestro Orhan Sallıel. “The Symphony of Awakening”, with 65 musicians from Cukurova State Symphony Orchestra will join Aysun’s Cypriot musician friends consisting 19 musicians. The concert will be her soundtracks she has composed for several long feature films and documentaries as well as her other compositions. She joined the Diary of an Angel Project on the 26th of October, 2013.
